It's very apparent that I'm speaking in a vacuum though, so you keep believing whatever you choose to believe. I'm tired of explaining why you're wrong.

I will try to keep this simple enough for you to understand:
If the dealer says:
"Put your OEM parts back on and bring the car in so I can run standard Toyota diagnostics on your problem"
(Which I have personally SEEN a tech tell a customer)
You are NOT committing fraud. Period.
If the dealer says:
"Put your OEM parts back on and bring the car in and I wont tell corporate, wink wink, nudge nudge"
You are assisting in the dealer committing fraud.
"Your example makes no sense and doesn't relate at all."
And the example definitely DID relate.
If I give someone cash for one thing and they use it for another (illegal) thing, did I help commit the crime or not? NO
Because they did not use the cash for what it was intended for.
SAME with the car example. If I put the parts back on
to assist with the diagnostics (what I was told) and the DEALER uses it for
something else (say to pass an inspection from corporate) then my actions are NOT assisting in fraud.
